Dear Astronomy Students,
The email we all got from the Dean of Science announcing that
the Astronomy Dept. was being dissolved and turned into an
"annex" of the Planetary Science Dept. was dated April 1,
which should have clued you in that this was an April Fool's joke.
So don't be alarmed, the Astronomy Dept. will carry on as before,
including our undergrad degree program. You don't have to
consider taking a degree in planetary science instead of astronomy!
John Bieging
